THE EXTERNAL IS TRULY THE INTERNAL #IYP Longevity

Like a moth to the flame

We are talking how the external is the internal?! Yup How the external Truly is the Internal, trust me you will understand at some point!!

What is up beautiful people? You know who it is, you know how it is, you know what it is we do and you know what it is we’re here for. It is yours truly the Rocky Balboa of this Podcasting game, that’s me Mossamo, a.k.a Moss from www.mossamo.com and you know what this is people. This is ‘The HighWay 2 Change Show’ where in the simplest, absolute simplest form which I put one foot in front of the other and get better, be better, do better every day, all day. It’s baby steps. It’s simply baby steps. It’s not gonna happen overnight. It’s not just some magic pill that everybody thinks you can prescribe usually magic. It isn’t. It’s hard work but it is a beautiful thing, I am living proof because where I came from, what I’ve been up to, what I’ve done, did and where I am at now, it’s two completely different worlds and it’s all through some just amazing teachings I’ve been blessed by with some cool teachers from the four corners of the globe. I’m here spitting their venom back at ya.

In the last couple of days I’ve been hanging with the young youngins like I’m talking, crazy and it’s not my kids but the friends of the family type kids at 4 years old, 3 years old, 6 years old and one of the things that came up and always will be, we use this especially me, I use all these lessons that look like they’re external as Internal so as I’m watching this and you know, the group of adults are spiting about you know, the millennials and all of these new generations but the Universe, once you’re aware has a funny way of slapping you right in the face and talking about them but it’s really just about you.

So, we’re talking about these kids and we’re talking about how they are not really allowed the IPads, the phones and they’re super young but they are using them for a different reason like watching movies and playing games and they’re not really allowed TV. But at one point I’m sure the moms had had enough, they want to have adult time so they put on the Boobtube, which I’ll call direct TV, the old Netflix and they put on the Lego movie or something for the kids right? And the adults were sitting in there and I’m sipping my tea, they’re having their drinks and you know, the moms were like “hey, Bobby, hey Suzy, you know, talking to the kids. It was hilarious to watch but you know, none of them even replied, they were zombie zone, their mouths were open and they were enthralled into all those that were on the TV, like so much soul that they obviously were in a different reality or were in a different world or so into what they were watching that they couldn’t even hear the parents who were 15 feet away saying their name repeatedly for up to a minute and then it became a joke and we just kept saying it and none of the kids even blinked, not even they blinked or looked away from the TV, it was crazy. So you know we get in the conversation of ‘Ohh my God! look at where the world’s going with all this stuff and technology and as I sit back and analyze and I sit back and take the conversation in as a viewer, as an observer, something funny happened where we said what we said and we did what we did and then what happens?

That night, cause it was in the afternoon at that point, that night after doing the Podcast, writing and hanging out with people ….a full day of hustling and grinding, taking care of biz, I was like ‘you know, I just wanna take 15 minutes before I meditate and I’m gonna put something on and just watch some TV right? As I was getting into my show, the other people come by saying ‘hey, let’s flip the script, let’s watch another show. And it was funny because I was so into what I was about to watch like I got in about 3 minutes and I was into it like you know, my quick escapism just relaxed and cool and I’m on the couch comfortable and watching this, I’m in to this and then verbatim when they sat down and they switched it to suddenly to something more general that everyone wanted to watch… I was just, I wasn’t into anymore. Like that quick, but I was zombie zone up unitl that point. The moment the show changed it was like I was brought back to reality…I was so aware of the other relam I went into when I basically checked out and was into my show.

I was only into what I was into no different than the kids being into what they’re into, not hearing anybody else’s words; you know ‘flip it to us now’. How are we absolutely any difference? We’re all humans always switching truly is the channel. You know what I mean like ‘I’m gonna be in what I’m in to’, maybe a documentary on Veganism or for me I need something to learn from that what I feed off right? There are all different flavors of this world, you might be into Game of Thrones -Bobby and Susie or Julie were into, Lego! and we’re all the same, there is a certain flicker rate on that TV that keeps us so enthralled, that we are all going to escapism or that zombie zone place the different reality and we all know how it affect’s the brain- what it is doing to the brain waves but truth of the fact is, none of us are different.

We are human and when we view the external it truly is our own internal!

The First Show, The Start Day ‘Longevity’ is the Base #IYP

The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

What’s up beautiful people? The First Show the Start, ‘Longevity’ is the Base.You know who it is, you know how it is and you know how we do. It’s your boy Mossamo a.k.a Moss from www.mossamo.com. I am the musician (man!), Mr. Positive vibes, hip hop, living that positive vibes lifestyle.

Ok, my very first podcast here on Anchor, the Start!! Yes the Start, feels so so good! Got pumped for it and I’m pumped for you to be listening to me — as I just wanna be able to put out the good vibes for you guys, vibe off or you guys, we all can get better, be better, do better.

A quick brief, little background on myself. The last 10 years I’ve been grinded through music obviously but I’ve also been on a spiritual and health for my body, soul, and path. I ran into a gentleman who was basically a monk out of Japan. Studied Soto Zen and I’ve been doing that now for about 8 years following him and from there learning all about the way health is done from their point of view. I’ve got into Olympic lifting, got into crossfit and got into Krav Maga about 3 years ago. So, (yeah) my journey is just all about being better every day (man! oh man) and I’m a little dude and you know, rock with the big boys all the time. It’s nothing but absolute fire and ammunition for me to continue to be better so I wanna put forth that vibe for you guys. That Rocky Balboa vibe on life…the underdogs…

What I’d like to talk about today is basically what’s going on down in Houston, Texas right now. That hurricane came through, dropped some crazy amount of rain and we know what’s been going on around the world. We’ve got issues everywhere. We’ve got issues in the U.K, we’ve got issues in the U.S, we’ve got issues in Canada, we’ve got issues as all around and everybody only seems to report about is these negative issues. Am I correct? Can I get the Amen? Can you hear me?

I have just spent some time with my mom and I never watched the news and she has the news on like 24/7 as I’m sure some of you have family members or maybe even yourselves do and I was dumd founde by the sheer amount of negativity coming off the TV stations -like you would basically think that the sky is falling and we might all just leave the planet as well and call it a day because the amount of negativity was crazy.

Yet, if you /we only focus on that negativity, and yes it’s possible that it is there- but I’m guaranteeing you, for every one negative story, there is ten thousand positive stories that nobody wants to talk about right?

So, coming back to what’s going on in Houston. Mother nature you know, does what mother nature does!! We think as humans, we probably think that our egos and you know, everything we’ve been told that we are the top of the food chain, obviously not. Every forest fire, every flood, every hurricane, every avalanche,( I mean) again and again tells us that we are not. And what’s going on down there that I am so pumped to see (I mean) not tons of places actually talk about it …but the pictures that are coming out online are showing black, purple, green, yellow, brown, White alien martian, I don’t care trans gender cat, dog, rat, chipmunk, blue Jay, bird, all and everyone together helping each other and I think that that is absolutely beautiful and I truly think down deep in our soul, in our base, our gut, that’s what we’re meant to do. We’re meant to help.

I’m sure there’s gonna be some reports of negativity. I’m sure there’s all that bullshit that happens and (you know), like what happend in Katrina or they only reported -and all that. There’s gonna be looting, there’s gonna be officers who do this and that but dude, 99% of it is golden and you’ll see people wanting to help people. That is a beautiful thing and I am so blessed to be seeing that way up here in Canada, on the West Coast of Canada. It’s a beautiful thing and I am appreciative of that for the human race because it’s nothing but hope, it’s nothing but positivity and I’m pumped for it. This is a quick short little rant… because it’s my first one, stick with me on this ride.

Hope all is well people. Tune in, check out www.mossamo.com Rock free music all day and we’ll see you on the flipside. Talk to you soon. Peace and I am out!

Stone Cold Focus is Longevity #IYP Ignite Your Purpose

Something to think about

What is up beautiful people? We are talking Focus and Longevity, this whole game is Longevity and your personal focus!

You know who it, you know how it is, you know what it is we do. It’s your boy Mossamo a.k.a Max from www.mossamo.com – That’s where you’ll get the free music, that’s where you’ll check the Vlog, the podcast, everything that’s happening in my life and everything that I’m doing to help out, to help each and every one of us grow together.

Now as I said before I’ve been blessed, (you know) I’ve had a unique upbringing but I’ve been blessed in the last 8 to 10 years to be on a path with some people that are at the top of their game who have been teaching me. So in now, my full understanding of all this, I am here to pass this knowledge on to you so that you can see the changes because dude I went from negative to positive and it fucking feels good and I’m not talking no religious, I’m not gonna disrespect that but I’m not talking like an AMENmoment where the light hit me. I’m talking hard work to come from a life of (you know) sheer greed and all about self to now becoming in a life of acceptance and selflessness so if that can help you, I am here for you.

This is what this is all about. I wanna give back because you know I grinded out in the music scene, I grinded out on the entrepreneur scene where (you know) which is where I make money too, you know we all gotta put the roof overhead and keep them wolves from the door. And yes, you know how it is. So I’m here for ya’ll. I want you to interact with me, I wanna be able to answer any questions you have. So again hit that website. I wanna talk briefly today about a conversation I had with a fellow patron who I’ve been kinda helping for about 3 years now and I noticed this repetitive cycle and I think it’s a human trade. If things are bad, it’s when you need to change, if things are pretty good, so I’m gonna fall back into my old habit to then come around for the cycle and be like ‘Ohh my God, I’m in pain, I need to change to, it feels good ohh my God, I’m falling back to my old habit’. You know what I mean? That hamster wheel, that rat race. This is all based on diet and (you know), weight gain, weight loss, feeling sluggish and the simplest of the fact is this, I believe in a few things like for myself, (you know) there is motivation and I think motivation is so far being let’s say you wanna go to a wedding in 3 weeks or you got a vacation to go and you wanna look shredded or you wanna lose some weight or you have a party to go to where you wanna impress somebody (you know) not too far off in the far distance future so you can put in that short amount of time and get some type of result and then kinda go back to old ways right?

We’ve all been guilty of it but I wanna talk to you about stone cold determination and focus. So you take that motivation and what you need from that motivation now is the mindset and this is where I’m talking to you on the awareness that I have of studying the mind now through soto zen for like 8 to 10 years and I’m telling you it is an amazing tool but you have to control it, don’t let it control you. So having said that, the conversation I had (you know) it’s just been a cycle for the last 2, 3 years. This is based on diet, this conversation that we’re having and (you know) their stomach starts to hurt and this person gains weight and then (you know) we get them on and the fast focus and boom they hit it and (you know) this time on summer came and has been indulgence in food and liquor and boom right back to the same square one like we never started (you know what I mean) and it’s because there is a thing, there’s that motivation ‘boom Ok, I feel bad, I need to change’ but there is 2 factors here. When you younger, so let’s say you’re late teens, early twenties all the way to your mid-twenties to early thirties to mid-thirties depending on your (you know) genetic code in your metabolism, you gonna be able to bounce back because we have youth on our side (right?) and that’s a beautiful thing. Having said that, the older we get if we don’t start making changes through mindset and determination not just motivation, this is gonna become chronic and then from chronic we get disease.

Now I don’t wanna get in and talk about that on this episode. That’s cool. We’re just gonna talk about mind set and how you need your mind set to be a stone cold focus on empowering yourself and bettering yourself. And the one thing that we can fucking foremost control is with the fuck with our own guts. If you listening to this podcast, that means you’re somewhat educated and by no means trying to tell you I’m a super educated person but I can read and I have the know how to make decisions from wrong from right (you know), so (you know) going in, gulping down, (you know,) some energy drink and a Burger from a gas station (you know) I know that’s not good for my body. If you continue to do that day after day, just think of the taxation….we will continue this episode with a PART 2

Energy Vampires #IYP — Ignite Your Purpose, I Talk #LONGEVITY

Be very aware of those around you and those you let into your field

What is up beautiful people? We are talk Energy Vampires, and how to Protect your Energy! You know who it is, you know how it is and you know what it is we are doing and what we’re here for. It’s your boy Mossamo a.k.a Moss from mossamo.com and from the HighWay 2 Change Show. Now please do me a favor and hit the website www.mossamo.com and get a link of some of my free music, get your good vibes on and spread that shit around the motherfucking globe baby cause we need to raise the vibrations of this beautiful planet. And if you’re into urban hip hop music with a tinge of like reggae and pop and rock, just rock it man! It’s dope. Certified dope. Been on the radio as a motherfuckin independent artist, that’s how we do! That’s what we do! Yes! Yes! Y ’all to the beat (you know). We don’t stop we, we never stop. You know how it is?

Anyway, again I am here to bring you my school of hard knocks, (you know), the upbringing on my own since 16 to the blessings of learning from the Eastern healers, the Eastern culture for the last 8 to 10 years. So I’m taking all this knowledge that I’ve learned and trying to give back. Again going from selfishness to selflessness. Correct?

That’s what we’re here to do people. You know you feel better when you’re helping somebody. Like I said, I’m a zen practitioner. I used to love the fight and I can guarantee you this much. I fucking hate the feeling of being in an altercation but I love that simple feeling of something as simple as holding the door open for man, woman, child, grandma or grandpa. I don’t care dog, cat raccoon. It is the feeling. It is our natural state. That’s what we’re meant to do. So I’m here to kinda shine the light that’s been showed to me so I wanna shine it on you because I’m telling you the negativity I was at… to the positivity I am at now. It is unconceivable the difference. And how blessings have come and goodness has just come into my life or our life when we start thinking different, reacting different and just actually opening your mind set to a whole different realm truthfully!!

(You know) because again I came up in immigrant family, Italian and (you know) it took me till about (well, ….. was 16) but it took me to about 22 to just (you know) start to change (man!) So it’s been a long journey. So going on that vibe, what I want to talk with you today is this simplicity of hanging around with people or vibing with people who are like-minded like yourselves and the difference between those who are as my good friend from the Isle of Man John Barrett told me ‘The energy vampires’ So how do we vibe that?

This evening, a couple of my boys called me up “hey man, (you know) still summertime, sunshine and you wanna go and just do a quick work out in the park and do some (you know) practice some of our moves” and It was about two and half hours session which felt like 15 minutes because it was sheer fun. It was like being a kid again. We were just Vibing, we were just having fun, we were just in the moment and we all thought the same things and that was to help each other be better at what it is we were doing. One of the guys bigger guy than me, his weakness is cardio. That’s actually my strength so I can help him out that way he’s got more power than me so he’s (you know) in the clinch showing me what I can do to get moves so I’m just saying it’s just a betterment for us all. He’s helping me, I’m helping him. The other gentleman’s helping us. (you know what I mean?) It’s a group satisfaction that we all help each other and we all got better at the same time (you know what I mean?) How fucking good does it feel? It feel so good and you could hear it my voice, you could hear it my energy.

Now, on the flip side of that, I’ve been at a lunch meeting today where it was just (waannnwaannnwaannn!) there was a freaking rainy black cloud over this gentleman that I was speaking to and I couldn’t run out of there fast enough and even though I eat the cleanest foods and I had a shake (you know), I barely eat. My energy was drained and it wasn’t from what I eat because my system was not processing food. It was at that gentleman, took all the goodness out of me I feel and (you know) I couldn’t run fast enough so feeling tired after a quick 45 minute session of just sitting down and talking with a guy to feeling energized after a two and half hour pound session of (you know), cross fit movements and Krav Maga …like (damn).

So, my simplicity for you is this, in the simplest form of it all, we have a short life, it is all soooo short so why do we waste our time on things that don’t matter and be around people that don’t make us feel our best? So if you’re in that situation, look to whatever it is you can… I don’t care if it’s a little squirrel, if it’s me on this blog, or whatever…but be better, do better and do it for yourself!!. I love you all tune in next time. love you!

As always I truly thank you and appreciate your time, and for the Blog-Vlog-Podcast and Free Music it’s all @ www.mossamo.com
